I noticed a listing of some notable websites in a recent issue of Time magazine, and it gave me the idea for starting this thread. I'm always looking for some interesting sites, so I thought it would be great to share some of our finds here.

My favorite sites are always changing. I used to LOVE The Purse Forum back when I was collecting designer bags. Mindless shallow obsessing is their motto... and I loved it when I was into it. Bored with it now.

I love cutewithchris.com because his videos and photos and letters from animal lovers crack me up. He has a running gag on "Crazy Cat Ladies" that always cracks me up.

And Television Without Pity is hysterical and biting in their descriptions of all the popular series. Even if I watched an episode of some show, I'll read their recap of it just to hear their bitchy comments. Very sarcastic.

And Don't Get Me Started with Linda Sharp. I tend to like biting humor.

Does anyone know why Outer B hasn't been updated? I loved visiting this site and reading up on all the local real estate stories, but the last post is dated January 18th. I e-mailed Meg, the editor, a while back, but never received a response.

It shows new ways to use Ikea products, how people have adapted them, cut, sewn, turned upside down and reconfigured Ikea products for novel uses.

Interesting ideas at this site. I disagree with one of the suggested Ikea product ideas though. In one of the photos, someone is using a kitchen rack of some sort over their toilet to place makeup items, including blush brushes and such. Call me a germaphobe, but I would be hesitant about swirling that brush on my face after it's been sitting right over a toilet. I've always read that the flush of a toilet creates a mist that covers surrounding areas. For that reason, placing toothbrushes and makeup brushes, etc. near a toilet is discouraged. I hope this person is closing the lid when he/she flushes!
